Aerial view looking south west across the Stourton/Hunslet area. On the left, a railway line can be seen crossing over Wakefield Road. The factory of John Waddington, printer, can be seen. It was here that the game 'Monopoly' was produced in the UK.

| Waddington Bath, Gledhow Valley (Gledhow) |
| 25th June 1928.
Built in 1671 by Edward Waddington of Gledhow, this bath house still stands in Gledhow Valley Woods. A date stone with Latin inscription has these details. Leeds historian Ralph Thoresby described the spring as a very curious cold spring.
